Replacing the tty.js frontend with xterm.js

10. June 2016. Friday

Tty.js is a web based terminal emulator, both server and client side included. The frontend is provided by term.js, which is quite dated. There was not any major development since 2013, and a few days ago the “no longer maintained” label was put on it. For me the biggest disadvantage of it is that it does not support the Hungarian keyboard layout, the special characters need be to inserted with ASCII codes. However the frontend is easily replacable with the newer xterm.js.
